The ECG that knows the history of your heart
Cardiovascular diseases are still one of the most common causes of death worldwide, that is why today it is more important than ever to know about one’s heart. The ideal method for detecting heart events is to perform ECG readings at regular intervals.
Common-mode choke meets 1000BASE-T1 requirements
Sampling of the common mode choke coil has been announced by Murata, designed to be fully compatible with the automotive high-speed (1Gbps) LAN standard, 1000BASE-T1. The new DLW32MH101XT2 is claims to be the smallest common mode choke coil for 1000BASE-T1 applications.
The first image of a black hole
This week, the world had a first view of the ground-breaking discoveries brought forth by Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) – an international scientific collaboration aiming to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope. The images of the event horizon of a black hole were constructed from data gathered by observatories all over the globe. Guest article written by Andreea Volosincu, Wind River.
